Hound Desktop (Windows, MacOS)
This release marks a major milestone, it introduces clients for Windows and MacOS (apple silicon) built on top of the web UI using electron. This functionally means the UI shares the same one as the familiar web portal.
The desktop versions use libmpv for playback, which means you can watch every codec compatible with mpv, which was a major limitation with the Hound web portal.
These binaries are NOT signed, so you will likely see warnings when trying to open the app.
Windows
Unpack the .zip, and run 'Hound Desktop.exe' if an SmartScreen warning pops up, click 'Run Anyway.'
MacOS
Open the .dmg, if a Gatekeeper message appears, select 'Done'. Navigate to MacOS Settings -> Privacy and Security, in the security section, find the hound .dmg and select 'open anyway.' Drag the .app to the Applications folder. If another Gatekeeper message appears, go back to the Privacy and Security screen and select 'open anyway' again for the .app executable.
An alternative to this would be to build the executables yourself on your machine, let me know if you need help with this. There are other ways to bypass or disable smart screen / gatekeeper, and the current method may be outdated in the future.
